Colorado State’s Mya Lesnar won the women’s shot put title at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships on Thursday, sealing the national crown with her very first attempt.
Lesnar’s opening throw of 62ft 4½in (19.01m) at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, stood as the top mark throughout the competition. The only other competitor to come close was Illinois’ Abria Smith, whose best effort measured 61ft 10¼in. Lesnar also registered the second-best throw of the day (61ft 11in), capping a commanding performance.
